The Shape Of Things
The shape of things isn't always
What it seems, on the surface
A thin veneer, obscuring
That what appears as form
Is but normalised belief
A superfice
Morning breaks,
The dewy landscape damp
Woodland floor nondescript
Against the dank debris
Of last year’s beech leaves
Strewn across now-muddied ground
Sun takes its first steps
Peering o’er the hills
No snow poetry
I have nothing, I’m afraid
Beyond the white peace
O’er half the world, the dreamer flies
Above middle towns and country places
Liquid grace, never too close to the sun
But through once-sullen clouds, suddenly parted
Drawing electrical storms into his
Perhaps life is a momentary twist in fate and time, within which
Sentience has its chance to exist. From nauseous, harsh
First discovery of air and light, the celestial clock starts to tick
